Is anyone able to advise a sensible compression ratio you can build these engines to before you start getting det/ burning holes through pistons?

I've fitted a decked head and flat top piston, that with the gx200 gasket would take it to 15, or standard gasket it would be 12. Reluctant to over do it, I guess the Wiesco pistons might be more resistant to this issue.
